volt power source (a power source that is not con-
trolled by the ignition key).
Red Wire (with Fuse): Connect this wire to a
switched +12 volt power source (a power source
turned on and off by the ignition key).
Blue Wire: Connect this wire to the (+) power
antenna activation circuit or remote amplifier acti-
vation. If no power antenna or amplifier exists,
tape-off the end of this wire to prevent shorting
out the unit.
Black Wire: Connect this wire to the frame of the
vehicle (ground). This wire is the chassis grounding
wire for the unit.
White Wire: Connect this wire to the Left Front
Speaker (+) positive terminal or wire.
White Wire with Black Stripe: Connect this wire to the
Left Front Speaker (-) negative terminal or wire.
Gre
en Wire with Black Stripe: Connect this wire to the

speakers. If the installation only requires (2) two
speakers, use the White and Gray wire sets to con-
nect the speakers.
Note 2: If installation angle exceeds 30 degrees
